Xbox 360 title Gears of War 3 is the most anticipated game of 2011 in the UK, it has been claimed.

Market research firm Ipsos has released the results of its first GamePlan UK report, which lists the games consumers are most looking forward to.

However, while the Xbox 360 title is top of the pile, the report found that Sony's PS3 has the higher number of highly anticipated games.

There are three first-party PS3 games in the top ten and five in the top 25, says Ipsos.

In comparison, only two of the top 25 titles are first-party Xbox 360 titles and only one is a Nintendo Wii release.

Ipsos' director of gaming insights Nick Williams said: "While Kinect has the slight edge over Move in the battle of new motion control peripherals, Sony has orchestrated a diverse 2011 line-up of exclusive software that could see it regain control of the UK console wars."
